Earth Day!

Hello everyone. This is The Daily Bone and I'm your dynamic doggie reporter
Chester L W. Spaniel. 

I hope you all had a nice Easter! My ghostwriter had to work all through it and didn't get home last night until 4am! I barely had the energy to get up and say hello to her at that time! 

I think I'm going to have to have a little talk with her boss one of these days! Grrrrr …
But anyway, today is my favorite holiday: Earth Day! That's the day ghostwriter and I take time to appreciate all the nice earth in our back yard. I like to look under rocks to see all the creatures that live there. Look look look lookie look! There's a gigantic slimy earth worm! 

I bet the robins would love to slurp up that one! 

There was a little spider living under this rock in a little round nest in the mud.

There are lots of interesting scents under here.

I smell mousie footprints back here.

I wonder if that was from the mousie we found in the trap in the garage on Saturday?

Moving on, here's our glorious compost pile, below. We put the autumn leaves on there plus vegetable and fruit scraps from the kitchen, the Halloween pumpkins and gourds, and all kinds of dead weeds, plants, and grass clippings too. The birdies ate lots of seeds from those pumpkins and gourds through the winter. Now that it's Spring, the robins find some huge worms in there too. After a while, these things will all turn into lovely, rich earth!

Right next door is the Sparrows Inc. Winter Lodge in the Sticks. Now that the sparrows have moved out, Dad will put all those sticks through the screaming dragon scary noisy stick grinder machine thing, and turn them into mulch. I'll be sure to stay safely in the house when he does that. 

Now ghostwriter wants to show a few flowers that are growing in our yard. 

Hyacinths

Pachysandra

Daffodils

Puppy willows!

Hostas growing

Hey, we still have to look under the rocks by the fence! 

Wow! Lots of  good stuff under there!

I did a lot of running and barking too. The ground is still soft so it feels like running on marshmallows. Before going in, I was sure to give the Gnome Syndicate their Spring deployment instructions. They had better not let any more mousies get into the garage!

Then it was time to go back inside. Wow, were my feet ever muddy! I had to jump into the bath tub!  The instant I got into the water, it turned brown!

That was a lot of work exploring the earth in my yard! I think I'll take a nap now. 

I hope all you doggies, and kitties, and humans out there had as much fun as I did today!

Good night!
